last skating rink
THE only permanent ice rink in Greater Manchester is to close this weekend.
The family-owned rink in Broadheath has been a landmark at Altrincham for 42 years, but was put up for sale in 2001.
Professional skaters and Ice Dance champions Karen Barber and Nicky Slater, who trained at the ice rink are leading a campaign to have a replacement rink built in Altrincham.
